The next morning, Yuwen Wen had just finished freshening up, and Sima Da and the others had already come to his residence to discuss the introduction of Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues and monks. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Oh, this guilt is going to be washed away with the action of doubling the spread of Buddhism!

Seeing that Yuwen Wen had just gotten up, Sima Da and the others apologized, and he had no choice but to be so anxious, because he was going to leave for Namba with the ship today, and he was going to the capital with the Buddha statue, so he had to settle things before leaving.

"Uncle, the Buddha statue can go directly to Namba Port to get off the ship, why bother to do this in Hakata Port yesterday?"

"Yu Langjun, Hakado is the place where ships must anchor after crossing the sea, and it can be seen as the main gate of the same country, and we will invite the Buddha statue to come to the east, so we will naturally treat each other with courtesy, just like welcoming the arrival of distinguished guests at the main gate."

"If that's the case, let's get down to business."

Yu Wenwen is ill-intentioned, but things must be done, so the relevant details of sending Buddhist scriptures into the country must be determined as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late to find out that something is wrong when it comes to the specific implementation.

Sima Da and the others wanted to persuade the Su I clan to send people to wait for the ship sent by "Yu Wen" (Yuwen Wen) in Hakata Port, but it was not a way to wait like this for 12 months and 365 days a year.

The Monobe clan of the Pai Buddha sect is not a fool, if they also send people to wait in Hakata, once the ship docks, before the people of the Soga clan, and deceive the crew to trust the Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues and even monks, it will be a waste of hard work.

Therefore, both sides must have tokens, the ship sent by Yuwenwen and the people of the Su I clan are connected, both sides must have tokens, and only after each of them shows the agreed tokens can they rest assured that they can carry out the "transaction".

In addition, it is also necessary to guard against the impersonation of "profiteers", because the Su I clan will inevitably use political resources to fight for some "privileges" with the imperial court, so as to open the door for Yuwenwen's ships to be convenient in Hakata Port, and not let Xiaoxiao take advantage.

Then there is the date, this year of sailing to see the face, when the wind comes, you have to pray for God to bless when crossing the sea, do not encounter stormy waves and die in the belly of the fish, so the exact date of arrival is not set.

It can only be determined based on past experience, that is, the months when people arriving in Hakata by ferry or maritime merchants are more frequent.

The so-called frequent is not frequent, in addition to the ferry people, there are not many wealthy merchants who frequently travel to the Central Plains and the Japanese country to do maritime trade, but there is always a fixed season.

Yu Wenwen didn't know much about the route from the Central Plains to the Wa Kingdom in these years, and he really didn't know which months were suitable for sailing and what was important, but he felt that the coastal boatmen probably knew it, so he said that he would inquire about it when he arrived in Jiankang.

Every year, the time when the ship sent arrives in the Wa Kingdom, it is determined according to the "market", and the more Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues, the more the better, as for the monks who promote the Dharma, it is not necessarily, after all, Yuwen Wen can not sell monks.

The token of the joint, Yuwen Wen refers to the practice of Sino-Japanese exploration and trade in the Ming Dynasty in later generations, and the specific operation is to the code, in view of the risk of navigation, it is naturally based on the content, and the paper does not care about the "original".

After discussing for a while, twenty code words were settled, and these code words were written on paper, in duplicate, Yuwen Wen and Sima Da each held one copy, and each copy was stamped with the private seal of the two at the same time.

The boat sent by Yuwen Wen selected one of the code words in turn and wrote it on the paper, and printed it with the private seal that he had "backed up" with the other party, and this paper was given to the escort ship as a certificate, and when he arrived at Hakata, he docked with the person who picked up the boat.

As for the return, Yu Wenwen said that the first time to cooperate with money "hurts feelings", Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues or monks are of course "free", but maybe "by the way" to bring some Central Plains items, such as silk, cloth and the like, then the "meaning" is on the line.

"Lang Jun, it's not easy to grasp what this means, there are also specialties in the Wa Kingdom, do you need me to prepare some?"

Sima Da and others have rich years of experience, of course, they know that it is not easy for Yuwenwen to collect Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues and then organize a sea boat to cross to the east.

It was not easy to get in touch with his homeland in the Central Plains, and he cherished this opportunity.

"Specialty? Belch... Sulfur, there are many poisonous insects along the Yangtze River, and a lot of sulfur is needed for medicine. Yu Wenwen said, "Shannan sulfur is in short supply, if the old man can let the empty ship return with sulfur, we are grateful." ”

"Lang Jun, the matter of sulfur is wrapped up in the old man!"

"In this case, please wait and see next year!"

There is no harbor in Yuwenwen's sphere of influence, and it is a pipe dream to make a fortune by playing a great voyage, but since he has sent a ship to send Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues to the country of Wa thousands of miles away, he has to transport something back to make up for the shortfall.

But in these years, there is not much worth selling back in the Wa Kingdom, and the local products are not interesting, but there is one resource that is good: sulfur.

There are many volcanoes in the Wa Kingdom, and there is a lot of natural sulfur, and Yuwen Wen does want to use sulfur to get into medicine, but it is gunpowder, and sulfur is really lacking in Shannan, of course, there is a shortage of other white flowers, but it is not appropriate now.

The Wa Kingdom (Japan) was rich in silver, and its Iwami Silver Mine was a world-class super-large silver mine that would not be mined on a large scale until nearly a thousand years later, and in the 17th century Iwami accounted for one-third of the world's silver production.

Before the large-scale entry of silver from the Spanish American colonies into the Central Plains in the late Ming Dynasty, the silver produced in Iwami Ginzan in Japan was the source of most of the maritime trade silver in the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty maritime merchants arrived in Japan loaded with all kinds of goods, and the silver was shipped back, and this trade was very profitable, and I don't know how many behemoths were raised, silver with white flowers, and even a strong guarantee for the implementation of the silver standard.

But here's the problem: he can't protect himself now, whether he can stand firm or not, the resources at hand are not enough to raise soldiers, how stupid he must be to invest resources to play a great voyage, and it is estimated that there are few ships that can reach the Japanese country safely within a year, so the top priority is to be sulfur and be a blaster.

The matters were drawn up, Yu Wenwen called Zhou Faming, together to send Sima Da and others to the dock, this old man in order to promote Buddhism in the country of the Japanese is also very desperate, to welcome the Buddha statue is just an accident, weekdays in the country of the country around the country, looking for foreign monks.

As soon as he approached the dock, he saw two groups of people confronting each other, pointing fingers at each other and arguing fiercely, and he couldn't understand what he was arguing about.

And Sima Da and the others walked over quickly, participating in the dispute, seeing that the two groups of people were about to switch from moving to hands-on mode, Yuwenwen didn't stop anymore, he felt that if he didn't do it, there was always no problem with moving his mouth.

"You, supposedly fluent?" Yuwen Wen asked one person beside him, this is a sailor in Cui's shopkeeper's fleet, who seems to know Japanese language, so he temporarily acts as his general.

"The little ones know a little bit about it, and it's okay to say something briefly, but it's just a few words."

"Well, what I'm going to say isn't complicated, it's simple." Yu Wenwen groaned, he planned to help Sima Da and the others, so he could be regarded as his own person, and it would be too unreasonable not to say a word.

"What does Lang Jun want to say?" The temporary general broke out in a cold sweat, for fear that what Yu Wenwen said was beyond his ability.

Unexpectedly, Yu Wenwen let out a lion's roar and shouted loudly to everyone present: "If you obstruct the Buddha's journey like this, aren't you afraid of heaven's curse!" ”

The voice was very loud, attracting the attention of everyone present, seeing someone shouting loudly, everyone looked at the person who shouted, and the temporary general was stared at by so many people and shrunk in fright, but was carried forward by Zhou Faming: "Say it again in the Japanese language." ”

"Ahh Ahh

"Boy, do you dare not say it?" Yuwen Wenpi looked at the other party with a smile and said.

Seeing this, the temporary general shuddered, and shouted what Yuwen Wen had just said in Japanese language, and seeing that everyone did not move, he was stabbed by Zhou Faming with his elbow again, and shouted several times with a bitter face.

The group of people who confronted Sima Da and the other group of Buddha-worshipping factions were stunned for a few breaths after listening to the shouts, and then their faces showed disdain, and a few pointed in the direction of Yuwenwen and shouted and cursed.

Yu Wenwen couldn't understand the Japanese language, but it didn't prevent him from feeling the contempt from the other party's movements and expressions, if it was in China, he would have launched a mouth cannon a long time ago, but in this foreign country, he was too lazy to do much, and turned a blind eye to all kinds of ridicule.

Help a mouth, just get the meaning, anyway, the fight between the two factions of the Wa Kingdom Buddha and the Buddha has nothing to do with him, seeing the "Ma Zai" official of the Su My clan in the distance rushing over with soldiers, the atmosphere of confrontation between the two sides began to cool, Yuwen Wen and Zhou Faming were relieved.

It's a lot of trouble in Hakata, and if you get to the capital of the Japanese Kingdom, how exciting it will be for the two sides to tear up!

At this moment, suddenly the wind blew violently, and the originally sunny clear sky suddenly became darker, and it seemed that a large dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, blocking the sunlight tightly.

When everyone looked up, they saw that the sun, which had not been directly visible, had dimmed, and it seemed that something was devouring the sun, and after a while, the sun disappeared from the sky, and the day was like evening in an instant.

"Ah!!h

There was chaos at the scene, and many people fell to their knees and kept prostrating, for the people of this era, this vision represented the wrath of the gods, and at the very beginning, some people loudly proclaimed that there would be a curse for not respecting the Buddha.

According to folk legends, the day the sun disappears, it is the time when demons and monsters rush into the world to kill, and there are also rumors that the tengu wants to eat the sun, so they have to beat gongs and drums to drive the tengu away.

"Lang Jun... This, this..."

Zhou Faming looked at the dim sky, and then turned his head to look at Yu Wenwen in disbelief, he heard it clearly, although he didn't believe it, but this was too...

'Eclipse... Make no mistake, that's fine!! Yuwen Wen secretly complained, and there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart, "Just say it casually, and then there will be a solar eclipse, crow's mouth!" (To be continued.) )
